Wolf Craft School, located at The Tinnery in the heart of Nevada City, is a creative hub offering hands-on workshops and classes that reconnect people with the timeless art of making. From hand-built ceramics and fiber arts to fermentation, shoemaking, natural dyeing, and jewelry making, our programs celebrate the beauty of craftsmanship and the satisfaction of creating something from start to finish.
As part of the growing vision for Wolf Craft School, our Nevada City studio serves as a vibrant gathering space where both beginners and experienced makers can learn, experiment, and build confidence in their craft. While The Tinnery is home to our current programming, an even larger creative gem is taking shape—our future Wolf Road campus. Nestled in nature, this upcoming space will offer a fully immersive experience, featuring on-site lodging and multi-day workshops designed to deepen your connection to craft and community.
At Wolf Craft, we believe that traditional craft is more than a skill—it’s a way to reclaim agency in a consumer-driven world. Whether you’re learning to mend, ferment, weave, or sew, each act of making fosters self-reliance, creativity, and pride in the work of your own hands.
A SCHOOL OF CREATIVITY
Wolf Craft is a place that fosters creativity, helping people practice traditional crafts. Independent art and craft schools around the world are unified by the goal of helping people learn methods of making, develop new skills and advance their mastery in specific areas and media. Art and Craft Schools go beyond academic curriculum by providing valuable education in skills and trades that might otherwise have faded from our modern culture.
WHERE WE EMBRACE CRAFT AND SKILL
Wolf Craft is more than just a school for classic arts and crafts. We envision a place that grows over time to include broader skills and other essential fieldcraft courses. We imagine pop-up workshops, hosting guest instructors from various trades and inviting inspired speakers to share what they’ve learned over the years, and continually evolving our learning experiences.
